Are you effectively engaging students with online library instruction? Want to present your strategies at ALA Annual Conference 2017?
The Distance Learning Section is sponsoring a program that aims to share practical methods for libraries to create effective student-success-based online instructional strategies that include creative methods for developing assessment plans and delivering high-impact information literacy skill instruction. These strategies may include but are not limited to the topics of:
- reaching students through online presence, instruction, and assessment
- creating and implementing high-impact online instruction
- handling challenges when developing online instructional materials
- time management
- providing access to resources and technology
- developing digital learning object repositories for online instruction
- embedding librarian programming in a course or program
This is open to any academic librarian with any online instruction experience they want to share.
Program Title: Visibility & Engagement: Design, Develop, or Refresh your Online Instruction
Program Description: Getting enthusiastic faculty buy-in, creating engaging online learning spaces, and identifying meaningful assessment strategies are all key components to building an effective online instructional presence. Whether supporting online or web-enhanced courses, today’s academic librarians need a visible presence to engage students and faculty alike. In this session, four practitioners will share their successes and failures, and what they have done to create high-impact online instruction programs.
Learning Outcomes:
From this program, attendees will learn how to:
- Apply strategies to create greater library presence in their institution's course management system and library work flow;
- Develop online instruction with integrated library resources and applications to support student learning;
- Formulate meaningful assessment of student learning outcomes in an online learning environment.
